Hey buggar, don't make us envious But none the less, enjoy the rest of your trip! Jeez, I am bloody envious...

Right, regarding the slide presentation - I'll bring my slides on a stick. I take it you will provide a computer & beamer. Actually the pics are quite nice. Two years ago I showed them at the meeting in Andaluc

According to weather forecasts here in Italy, the HU meeting will be "kissed" by clear skies and hot sunshine: by Saturday, temperatures in the north of the Country are expected to reach 40 degrees.
Have fun!

It was my first HU meeting and I must say I already miss it.

Lovely atmosphere, great and friendly people, a stunning location...
The thunderstorm of Saturday night has not been able to spoil this meeting: we had fun, stood with friends from all over the world, enjoyed the pictures and the ride tales in Africa and Mongolia, ate well and drank even better...
Can one ask for more?

Thanks to all the new friends we met there, and to Jens for organizing this event that for me and my girlfriend has already become a must-return for 2011.

For all the ones that were there and for those who could not join us, here below is the link to my online album with the pics of this unforgettable weekend.

See you on the road, HUBBers!

Wow, what a great meeting. fantastic location, fantastic people and a fantastic host. Mark and me (Martin) are on our way back at the moment in France (Besancon).
If you didn't go then you missed something really special.

New to Horizons Unlimited?

New to motorcycle travelling? New to the HU site? Confused? Too many options? It's really very simple - just 4 easy steps!

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Susan and Grant Johnson Read more about Grant & Susan's story

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
